BERGER FUNDS
SUPPLEMENT DATED MARCH 29, 1999

PROSPECTUS DATED JANUARY 31, 1999
LOW MINIMUM INVESTMENT PLAN
A Low Minimum Investment Plan is available to all
investors of the Berger Funds. The Plan permits
investment in a new Berger Fund account with a $100
initial minimum investment when a commitment is made to
make at least $100 per month in minimum automatic monthly
investments into the account.
The Low Minimum Investment Plan is available to investors
as an alternative to the regular Berger Funds initial
investment minimum of $2,000 per account.
The Low Minimum Investment Plan is designed for investors
who would like to begin a regular investment program but
are reluctant to commit to higher lump sum initial
minimum investments. In order to qualify for the Low
Minimum Investment Plan, an investor in the program must
commit to automatic monthly investments totaling no less
than $100 per month per account. The automatic
investments must be made at least until the value of each
account opened under the Plan is at least $2,000.
If the automatic monthly investments are discontinued by
the investor before the account value reaches at least
$2,000, the account will be charged $25. In addition,
accounts less than $2,000 in which automatic monthly
investments have been discontinued will be charged an
annual fee by the Funds of $25 in December of each year.
This charge is intended to offset the impact on the Funds
of low balance accounts where the accounts are no longer
growing through automatic monthly investments. Shares in
accounts that have discontinued automatic monthly
investing may also be subject to involuntary redemption
by the Funds as described on page 30 of the Funds'
prospectus.
